xucsa. MEETING THE PROBLEMS OF DECLINING YEARS

I once met two elderly men within a. period of five minutes. one was driving a lumber waion with 1.000 to 1,500 feet of lumber.

.' dnwn by spirited horses. This man had long white whiskers and was apparently well over 70 years Of age. At first. I felt sorry for him IS I thought of him having to be out in all kinds of weather- and handling loads of lumber. How- ever. my feeling of 5YniPa'-hy 509” passed away as ! met another nliil-ll of similar are. assisted in -1'-5 walking by a stout cane. who was entering a fire station to P14-iY checkers with a fireman who would be sitting waiting for a drc cnll. My symllaihy Wmed "0 mm bocause he was old.-apparently rheumatic. and suffering some

pain.

Naturally the first man. despite his having to work outdoors in nil kind; of weather. would be such!- er physically and have a strong heart, good lungs. a good appetite. good digestion and regular bowel movement. He would likely con- tinue to live a life of usefulness for several years..

In Medical Clinics of North America, Drs. David A. Boyd. Jr-. and Fralicis J. Braceland. Mayo Clinic, state that from the stand- point of modern mental hygiene. it is the better part of wisdom to help people in the older use EYOUDS maintain confidence in themselves by permitting, them some type 05 specified duties. Whlieg avoldinrz pampering and preventing them from establishing some pattern of dependence on their families and others.

There should be some pl'8PM8- tlon for the life to be.lived when old age arrives. This includes as- ceptance of the phi1050PhY that growing old is the natural conse- quence of living. During the years before the arrival of old age. iri- stead of gradually dropping all hxs ntgrgegs, he should mix even more

with others and find activities outside his present everyday Edi" lilies.

! have talked to a number of re- tired university professors and despite the popular idea that they are all absent-minded and will re- mnin so. nearly every one to whom I have spoken has plans for the years of his retirement-twriting books. working on inventions. reg- ular gardening. work and others-

Regular useful work should pre- vent us becoming old before our time.

For Tomorrow

BY dint of hard work. sustained effort. sound ideas and deter- mination. a static or disappoint- ing state of affairs may be shrewdly anchored on to construc- tive foundation. It is of utmost im- portance to move wisely. with an idea of long-range and enduring benefits. with the proper evalu- ation of results to be attained by steadfastness and sound vision.

If n In Your Birthday

"Slow but sure" might be a safe injunction for manipulating af- fairs in hand. with pause for fun- damental values. a sound estima- tion of resources. plans and assoc- iations. for substantial. long-range and future reaping. Difficult prob- lems may come up for sound an- alysis. with the proper evaluatlin of plans. policies and objectives, ihnving lasting and enduring de- nouement rather than passing achievement.

In 1865. Mt. Aetna blew its top and a river of pure fire from 900 to 1,600 feet wide and 49 feet deep plunged like a cataract down its side into the ravine. In a few days the valley was filled with lava in a depth of 160 feet. During the greatest flow this river of fire was 6 miles long. The volume of lava spewed forth in this eruption was estimated at 111 cubic yards a se- cond. and red-hot stones were thrown to a height of 40,000 feet.

The word "mule" is not men- tioned in literature until the time of King David. when lsrael be- came more familiar with horses.

Mules must have been imported because breeding of different species was forbidden. (Lev. xlx - 19). A single line of

but I doubt it. There are people so constitutionally opposed to Clean- iiness that the more thought of an ablution sends them into fits of hydrophobia.

IT MUST BE LOVE

You must. indeed. have an overwhelming passion for your boy friend if you still love him in spite of his coking like something that has just been fished out of the gutter. cannot imagine anything that would moi off a girl's love for a man quicker than grimy fingers and dirty ears. Nor can I fancy how romance can survive I three- day's hoard.

Nothing else is so disillusioning in either man or woman as per- sonal slovenliness. It is really easier to overlook spots on a man's character than it is grease spots on his vest. Perhaps hcredity and environment may have made him what he is inwardly, but his be- ing outwardly sloppy and unsbaven and unshorn is nothing but pure laziness.

"The apparel oft proclaims the man." said Shakespeare. and I wiser thing was never uttered. A fine coat doesn't make a fine man. but it shows what kind of a man is wearing it. It may be of the finest cloth and cut by a master tailor, but if it needs brushing. press- ing and cleaning. and is reminiscent of all the meals he has. eaten for days. then that man is careless. inefficient. He will do slan- dashy work and as little of it as he can get by with. But if a man's threadbare coat is pressed; if his frayed collar is clean; if his bro- ken shoes have been blackened. you will not go wrong if you let hlin down as a man who will make the most of his opporturiiies. who will be on his tiptocs about his job and who will succeed in life.

DEAR MISS DIX: 1' am a young girl cngagrri to a boy whom i love dearly and he lovcs me, but we are both nfflicted with jealousy. When he even so much as talks to another girl I go wild and may hateful. catty things which make us both miserable. He does the same way with me, though in a milder form. is there any way to overcome jealousy? S. AND J.

ANSWER: I think the only cure for jealousy is large doses of common sense repeated as often as necessary. but there is no use in prescribing that for the victim of this dread disease because 'no one will ever try it. Perhaps they can't because they haven't got it. for no sane and reasopable -person ever suffers from the green-eyed mon- ster.

Consider your own case. You say you grow wild with jealousy if your sweetheart even so much as talks with another pnl. Why? You say he Waves you. Then why isn't it safe for him to talk to any girl or all the girls in the world if you are sure he prcfc-.rI you to anyone of them? Do you think he is a liar and n chent? If you think your sweetheart is a cad and a philiinderer who has .to be watched every moment. why do you want him? If you flunk he in a fine honorable man, what are you afraid of?

Jealousy is the manifestation of an inferiority complex and it is also the sign of a mean and suspicious disposition. Think better of yourself and have faith in the one you love. There can be no op- piness in a marriage in which there is not trust between fl husb d and wife.
